Mary Coughlan Love In The Shadows
She stood in the doorway out of the rain
Waited for hours and nobody came
I could tell by her eyes that her face had got wet
With the tears that she cried for what ain't happened yet
Danny Boy where are you
Danny Boy where are you
Up town the action is out on the streets
A thousand more people are keeping the beat
These men are hungry, easily moved
Darken the shadows, gonna sharpen their tools
Danny Boy your love burns low tonight
It's out of the doorway and into the mess
No smiling pictures and no pretty dress
The words that are spoken are angry and bold
Embraces that pass between strangers are cold
So here's the bravest the world's strongest son
The cold hand that lays on the one never won
Lovers in anguish might die in the streets
Their open hearts beating the night in the sheets
Love in the shadows
It's always the same
Rolling like thunder
Gonna die in the flames
Danny Boy your love burns low tonight
She stood in the doorway out of the rain
Waited for hours and nobody came
I could see by her eyes that her face had got wet
With the tears that she cried for what ain't happened yet
Danny Boy where are you
Danny Boy where are you
She learned how the feeling of love turned to pain
Lost on a wet night and never regained
Danny Boy where are you
Danny Boy where are you
